DESCRIPTION

The Sphalerite main crystal consists of uncountable tiny steps, all of the razor sharp. Sphalerite is very dark, nearly black and highly lustrous. Some also sharp terminated, light (silver like color) Galena is attachted, minor chalcopyrite is also present. The backside is not well crystalized, but rehealed, so we can call this a floater and it´s in excellent condition damage-wise. Hard to photograph, much better in person.
